Where to watch The Delay (2013)

Story

This 15-minute documentary observes the quiet passage of time in an abandoned motel setting. The film captures the slow decay of a forsaken space through natural imagery—birds overhead, discarded objects weathering away, crumbling structures reclaimed by vegetation. It explores themes of stasis and abandonment, using minimal narrative to convey a sense of stillness and waiting within a deteriorating landscape.

• Directed by Daniel Paz Mireles with a distinctive visual approach to capturing decay and abandonment
• Ideal for viewers seeking experimental documentary work beyond conventional storytelling
